In the CSP model, there's no reservation process. I have to pay for them in the month that I put them on. So from a cash flow perspective, there's a slight disadvantage here because I had, in that month six, I would have to pay for those six, those 100 users. But I'm paying month to month, right? So I'm going to pay the 100, you know, 1100 in month 6, 1100 month 7, 1100 month 8, month 9. So I'm truly paying month to month, okay?
